No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A man of new-found wealth enters society-and an arranged marriage-by striking a gentleman's bargain with an aristocrat with something to hide. But his charade of a marriage catches him off guard when it explodes into a passion strong enough to blow every lie and misconception apart.
When Gideon Harwood, who has recently returned to England from India, is introduced to Lord Stanwell in London, he is surprised to find he already knows the nobleman, but by a different name. To prevent Gideon from revealing his bigamous secret, Lord Stanwell offers Gideon the chance to wed his daughter, Julia, since marriage will give Gideon the one thing all of his recently acquired wealth cannot buy: entree into the ton and better marriage prospects for his sisters. Forced into a marriage of convenience, both Julia and Gideon initially agree to pretend their marriage is a love match, but as they gradually get to know one another, both of them find keeping up the pretense that they are in love is suddenly very easy to do. Two people learn to stop blaming themselves for things they cannot control and accept love they both deserve in Cullman's wonderfully poignant romance, which offers readers superb character development and subtle wit.
